This invention relates to a composition for treating hair and/or scalps and more particularly, to a composition for treating hair and/or scalps of human beings which is capable of stimulating hair growth.

According to the invention, a composition for treating hair and/or scalps comprises 20% to 40% by weight beef bone marrow, 10% to 30% by weight vegetable oil, 1% to 5% by weight paraffin oil, 20% to 40% by weight rum, 1% to 10% by weight emulsifying substance, and 1% to 15% by weight of rosemary.

Preferably, the emulsifying substance is emulsifying white wax. Preferably, also, the vegetable oil is castor oil.

The composition, preferably, comprises 32.79% by weight beef bone marrow, 21.68% by weight castor oil, 2.64% by weight paraffin oil, 28.91% by weight rum, 5.78% by weight emulsifying white wax, and 8.20% by weight rosemary.

According to another aspect of this invention, a method of manufacturing a composition suitable for improving the health and strength of existing hair on a human scalp, the composition having the following constituents, by percentage of weight of total ingredients; the manufacturing method comprising the steps of pouring the castor oil and beef bone marrow into a mixing vessel; mixing the oil and beef bone marrow until a cream consistency is reached; adding the rosemary to the mixture and stirring the same; heating the mixture; adding the emulsifying white wax to the mixture and stirring the same until the wax is dissolved; removing the mixture from heat and cooling the same to room temperature; adding the rum; adding the paraffin oil and thoroughly stirring the mixture; leaving the mixture to stand in the mixing vessel for at least four hours; removing the mixture from the mixing vessel; and packaging of the mixture in air tight containers.

In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a composition for treating human hair and/or scalps comprises by weight 20% to 40% beef bone marrow, 10% to 30% vegetable oil, 1 % to 5% paraffin oil, 20% to 40% rum, 1% to 10% emulsifying substance and 1% to 15% rosemary. The vegetable oil acts as a skin softening and penetrating substance and here again, it has been found that castor oil is particularly suitable although it is envisaged that other alternative vegetable oils could be used such as, for example, olive oil or almond oil.

One particularly suitable emulsifying substance has been found to be emulsifying white wax but here again it is envisaged that other emulsifying agents could be utilised.

In addition, it should be noted that the rosemary acts as a keratin fibre strengthener.

One particularly suitable specific composition consists of 28.35 grammes of beef bone marrow, 18.75 grammes of castor oil, 2.28 grammes of paraffin oil, 25.00 grammes of rum, 5 grammes of emulsifying white wax, and 7.09 grammes of rosemary.

The composition is manufactured by pouring the castor oil into a mixing vessel and adding the beef bone marrow thereto. The castor oil and the beef bone marrow are mixed until they reach a creamy consistency and rosemary is then added and stirred into the mixture. The mixing vessel is then heated by, for example, placing the mixing vessel over a container of boiling water and the emulsifying white wax is then added and stirred into the mixture until the wax is dissolved. The mixing vessel is then allowed to cool to room temperature and the rum is then added. The paraffin oil is then added to the mixture one drop at a time whereupon the composition is thoroughly stirred and is left in the mixing vessel for a period of at least four hours before the composition is removed therefrom and packed into individual airtight containers or jars.

The composition which is in the form of a cream is applied to the hair and/or scalp and is thoroughly massaged into the hair and scalp for a period of at least fifteen minutes. It has been found to be beneficial for the composition to be applied and massaged into the hair and the scalp at least once during each twenty four hour period and preferably, the treatment is continued for at least seven days or longer to obtain the most beneficial effects.

It has been found that the application of this composition stimulates hair growth and improves the health and strength of existing hair on human scalps.
